Mixed Use zoning districts are a planning strategy and land use practice that promotes a walkable built environment, infill development and redevelopment, and increased density of development. Burnsville’s MIX district is regulated by Title 10, Chapter 22C of the Burnsville City Code and the intent is to promote integrated land uses where residential land uses can be combined into neighborhoods with retail, office, entertainment, and recreational facilities in close proximity to transit.

The long-term vision for Burnsville Center area imagines a redeveloped and revitalized urban village known as the Center Village. The area could include a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) transit station as part of a future expansion of the Orange Line. This area is currently in the works as a Mixed use zoning district pending Metropolitan Council approval. That amendment guides the properties north of County Road 42 and south of McAndrews with Interstate 35 and the west side of County Road 5 as boundaries to Mixed Use. Instead of recreating the wheel, the City may one day extend the new TOD (Transit Oriented Development) zoning district to include Burnsville Center and other areas of the city.
